2.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not immerse or rinse cord, plugs or this appliance in

3.
Only the detachable blending wand, whisk and cup are designed to be immersed in liquid. Never

5.
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before adding or removing parts and before cleaning.
6.
Avoid all contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of your mixing container and away
from the cutting blade while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage
to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.
7.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is
dropped or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to Taylor® (see warranty) for
examination, repair or adjustment. Do not attempt to repair or replace any parts yourself.

Blades are sharp; handle very carefully at all times, especially when cleaning.
12.
When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to
reduce spillage.
13.
Be certain the wand or whisk is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
14.
Do not leave the appliance unattended during use.
15.
To disconnect, be sure the unit is off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet by grasping the plug
and pulling. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord.

USING YOUR HAND BLENDER
BEFORE FIRST USE
?
Make sure the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance. This appliance is for a
120 –Volt AC electrical outlet only.
?
Remove any bags, labels or stickers from the appliance.
?
Clean the motor unit with a damp soft cloth
?
Wash all of the removable parts – blending wand, whisk adaptor, whisk attachment and cup using a sponge,
warm water and mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.
?
NOTE: do not immerse the motor unit in water when cleaning
How to use your Hand Blender
1. This appliance is best for blending liquids, including soups, gravies, lattes, salad dressings, powdered drink mixes and
sauces. It may also be used to combine dry ingredients or to emulsify. This blade stirs while adding a minimum of air to
the mixture.
2. Wash and dry all components thoroughly as stated above.
3. Assemble with either the blending wand or whisk.
?
To assemble with the blending wand, be sure the unit is unplugged. Match up the small arrow on the wand to
the unlock symbol on the motor unit. Turn clockwise until the arrow aligns with the lock symbol on the motor
unit and you hear it click into place. To remove blending wand, turn counter-clockwise.
?
To assemble with the whisk, be sure the unit is unplugged. Place the stem of the whisk into the hole on the whisk
adaptor until you hear it click into place. Place the whisk adaptor onto the motor unit and turn clockwise until
you hear it click into place. To remove whisk and adaptor, turn the adaptor counter-clockwise and remove from
the base unit. Gently pull the whisk from the adaptor until it is released.
?
Always be sure that the appliance is properly assembled before using. Blender blades are extremely sharp; never
touch the cutting edge of blades.
4. Add ingredients into the blending mug or other container that is tall enough to avoid splashing. Add ingredients a little
at a time to ensure proper blending and to prevent overflow. Never fill container more than ¾ full; the action of the
blade and immersing the wand or whisk into the container will cause ingredients to rise in the container. Make large
recipes in multiple batches.
5.Unless the recipe states differently, pour liquid ingredients into the blending container before solid ingredients. The
liquid will help the processing time go faster.
6. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.
7. Dip the blending wand or whisk as deeply as possible into the mug, but only up to within one inch of the connection
to motor unit; then switch on the unit by holding the on/off button on the front panel. To avoid splashing, do not turn
the unit on until the blade or whisk is beneath the surface of the mixture and do not pull the blender out of the mixture
while it is running.
8. Work through the ingredients with a gentle up and down motion. When blending is complete, release the on/off button
and unplug the unit from the outlet.
9. Detach the blending wand or whisk after unplugging the unit.
10. When using the hand blender continuously, it is recommended to stop and let the machine rest for 5 minutes to
prevent overheating.
11. When finished, remember to wash and dry all parts as described above.
Blending Tips
?
Liquid should not come closer than within an inch of where the wand or whisk attaches to the motor unit.
?
Do not immerse the motor unit in liquid or water.
?
Do not let the blender stand in a hot pot on the stove while not in use.
?
Do not put fruit pits, bones or other hard ingredients into the blending mixture, as these are liable to damage the
blades.
?
Do not fill the container too full. The level of the mixture will rise when immersing the wand or whisk as well as when
blending and can splash or overflow the container. If you are blending large amounts, separate into smaller batches to
blend.
?
Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.
?
When recipes call for ice, use crushed ice, not cubed ice.
?
The gentle up-and-down motion described above will mix the ingredients most uniformly and give you the best result.
?
To whip air into a mixture, hold the blade just under the surface of the mixture. Be careful not to raise the blade above
the surface and cause splashing.
?
To make soup creamy in texture, use the Hand Blender to puree solid ingredients to the desired consistency using a
gentle up-and-down motion right in your saucepan.
?
When blending butter, remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for best results.
